Practical Pathology for Radiologic Technologists: A Comprehensive Guide to Imaging Disease Processes, Differential Diagnosis, Body System Disorders, a
Do you freeze when a scan shows something the requisition never mentioned? Radiologic technologists are trained to produce diagnostic images, yet the disease processes behind those images are often taught as an afterthought. That gap costs repeat exposures, missed critical findings, and confidence at the console.
Every shift puts you between the patient and the diagnosis. A subtle pneumothorax, an occult fracture, a mass mistaken for a normal variant: these findings pass through your hands before any radiologist sees them. Without a working knowledge of pathology, positioning decisions and protocol choices become guesswork instead of clinical judgment.
Practical Pathology for Radiologic Technologists closes that gap with a 2026 edition built specifically for the imaging professional, not the physician-in-training.
25 systematically organized chapters covering congenital, inflammatory, neoplastic, vascular, traumatic, and degenerative disease across every body system and modalityCase-centered chapters built around a running patient scenario, so every concept ties back to a real clinical decisionClinical pearls, differential-diagnosis tables, and mechanism maps in every chapter for fast, practical recallOver 50 clinical illustrations depicting anatomy, pathology, and imaging correlation with precisely labeled structuresA companion video course of 50+ curated tutorials, accessible instantly through the QR code printed inside this editionStop treating pathology as someone else's job. Understand what you are imaging, recognize what does not fit, and speak up before the study ever leaves your department. This is the reference technologists keep at the console, not on a shelf.
